HF4MW walk-a-ton is a annual event given as a fundraiser for education and prevention in "eliminating health disparities among low-income minority women within racial/ethnic communities. The fund raiser will provide health education resources, seminars and community workshops, research, physical fitness and nutrition programs, access to mental health counseling and appropriate healthcare practices and an overall health regiment to help minority women change behaviors.

Our major focus regarding the health of minority women is:

1). to provide various physical fitness programs as a means to fight against health disparities amongst minority women.

2). to provide resources to help educate minority women on various health issues.

3). to encourage minority women to become more health conscience and physically fit.

4). to help build minority women self-esteem and enhance motivation.

5). to help minority women become a healthy prominent role model in building a stronger foundation for their children.

6). to help within rural communities support and promote minority women health for a lifespan.

7). to foster partnerships in delivering healthy messages across intercity communities.

This walk-a-thon is given as a means of financial support for minority women fight against health disparities. As a participant you are helping to provide a lower cost and better access to health educational materials, QUALITY personal/physical fitness training programs, and help to expand facility space that will provide six entities of services such as: a 50,000 sq ft building space for fitness classes, aquatic area for minority women with joints problems and physical disabilities, a nutrition center, a health education center specifically for minority women, a massage therapy center, and a counseling center to help encourage and improve self-esteem towards a better health. By doing this, minority women will become more health conscience and motivated to achieve a better lifestyle with positive energies and elevated positioning.
